Wright, 30, hasn't been an effective coverman in a few years. The writing was on the wall when he was arrested on several charges early last month. Wed, May 14, 2008 04:31:00 PM

Browns CB Kenny Wright's April 3 arrest in Pearland, Texas, was not his first offseason brush with the law.

Wright was also charged March 1 with Class B misdemeanor possession, but a suspension is premature because he has only been charged.

Browns CB Kenny Wright's April 3 arrest in Pearland, Texas, was not his first offseason brush with the law.

Wright was also charged March 1 with Class B misdemeanor possession, but a suspension is premature because he has only been charged. There is some question over whether Wright actually disclosed the first incident to the team when it happened. His place on the Browns' roster is tenuous at best.

Quite a day. Police say they found 1.875 ounces of marijuana on Wright's person after a parking-lot altercation from which he initially fled on foot. Wright, 30, has been a fringe player since 2005 and seems highly unlikely to make the Browns' roster now. His release could be coming in short order.

Terms were not disclosed. Wright fills a gaping hole in Washington's defense behind their top two cornerbacks. The team could still use another player for depth, but should be running out of cap space.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed free agent CB Kenny Wright to a one-year deal. The deal was worth the league minimum.

Wright should have a shot at the right CB position but he's a better fit to come in on 'nickel' packages. If Wright solidifies a starting spot, he could be a useful pickup when your starters have their bye weeks.

Depth Charts

Cody Kessler (concussion) has been medically cleared and resumed practicing on Monday.

While it's good news that Kessler has overcome the second concussion of his rookie season, the Browns have said nothing about his status or whether he will start coming out of the Week 13 bye. Josh McCown has not played particularly well in recent weeks, but he clearly gives the Browns their best shot to avoid 0-16.

It'll end Payton's season. A fifth-round pick out of UCLA, Payton earned only 30 snaps on offense while wallowing behind Terrelle Pryor, Corey Coleman, Andrew Hawkins, Ricardo Louis, and Rashard Higgins on the Browns' wide receiver depth chart. Payton may be hard pressed to make the Browns' 2017 roster, but he will be given every opportunity in next year's training camp.
